After a very animated and long day of competition in the poker room of Crown casino of Melbourne on last Sunday, the finalists of the tournament Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) Melbourne 2013 have finally stood out. The British Ashley Mason achieved a beautiful result, because he occupied the place of chipleader of the final table. He is the only one who has 2 million chips in hands. He is closely followed by the New Zealander David Yan and the local player Bowdy Tolhopf, who occupy respectively the second and third position.
